[Bug 595486] [NEW] linux does NOT syncs and umounts removable usb flash disks at switch off

[Mario Capurso]

Public bug reported:

If you connect an usb flash disk, copy a directory with photos from the desktop to the flash disk and then switch the computer off from the menu, you expect to find the directory with photos on the flash disk.
This is NOT the case.  You find the directory, empty, and if you try to access the directory you receive an error message.
The only possibility you have is to delete the directory.
I think the kernel should sync and umount all the removable units, including the flash disks.
This happens with Ubuntu 8.04, but I don't know if this happens also with other releases.
